Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Attendees will gain an appreciation of local history and the use of photography to provide a historical record.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The audience learned about gardening in a whole new way. Mr. Karsten taught them methods of sustainable and economical gardening. They were shown that straw bale gardening requires no special tools, and no knowledge of gardening is really required to be successful. The elimination of many of the most common problems associated with vegetable gardening, makes this method great for beginning gardeners, organic growers, or those experienced gardeners that are just tired of all the hard work. I know some very enthusiastic people who started the method that week!
